Summary
Perhaps an overlooked point of contention within their (fairly) new courtship: Cressida Cowper is too diligent a student regarding the finer points of feminine etiquette and flirting while Eloise Bridgerton is wholly uninterested (and uneducated) in feminine etiquette.
Or: Eloise is woefully oblivious and Cressida is perpetually (sexually) frustrated.

Poor Cressida. Oblivious Eloise. Perfect language.

Summary
“You should try writing to her, even if you are not to send them. I find, when I have so many feelings that I am unsure what to do with them, it helps to release them creatively.”
“But you draw, and I’m not much of a writer honestly. Well… most of the time anyway.”
“There are all kinds of writers you know. You believe yourself to not be a writer because there are so many of them already around you, but the world is full of creativity, full of art, full of someone who will always be better at something than you Eloise. Besides, I’m not asking you to publish a book of poetry for a long-lost lover. I’m just saying, try an outlet for once that doesn’t involve smoking on a swing?”
At that she had laughed but she had gone to bed with Michaela’s advice singing in the back of her mind and then had spent many nights when she couldn’t sleep in Scotland doing exactly as she had suggested.
And now Eloise stared at the never-to-be recipient of dozens of letters that hide in her desk drawer that resides in her room at Aubrey Hall and she is none-the-wiser and oddly calm and beautiful for someone who has been stuck with sheep for the last year.

Summary
Before her last year at Oxford, Eloise Bridgerton is hiding away in Bath for the Summer. Cressida Cowper is doing the exact same. It would be best if they avoided each other.
Funnily enough, they don't.

A wonderful concept written brilliantly. Subtitled Cressida learns to drive. The last chapter is gold!

Bookmarker's Notes
The classic tlcwl. It is brilliant, sexy, sad, and ultimately better than canon thank god.
The heroic shoe rescue. Eloise the dashing knight saving her damsel in distress.
Eloise is a touch comp het. But it does work out.
